I love transition years, every time theyou play with a new musician we get this influx of energy from not only the new player but from the whole band.
Thank you to the uploader and to Jerry and Co. for giving us all this music gratis.

Not that I remember much but this was my first live GD show. I do remember someone in the audience yelling, "Rock and Roll !" between songs and Bobby who was very annoyed, told him to
"F-off, relax we're from California". The sound is much cleaner than what we heard in the balcony. Great Sound Board archived show.
Thanx and Happy Trails

Any well played show with a killer Dark Star gets 5 from me!

Keith's first few weeks in the band were pretty much all supercharged, high energy shows and this is no exception. The Jerry ballads from this run are all pretty much uniformly excellent as well...

But obviously the heart of this show is a totally slept-on, non-famous but really smoking Dark Star. Garcia is in fleet, nimble form throughout. The pre-verse jamming fades back and forth from DS structure to spacy open jamming, then after the verse we get a propulsive melodic jam that flirts with the Tighten Up theme before diverging into a unique creative section. Really great! A must for Dark Star heads.

Thanks for this! Sounds great. Really spacey and spacious Dark Star.
